Instructions Have Been Sent to Military Authorities Prompt
Action Will Be Taken.
"WASHINGTON, July 8. The navy department has been informed that a Spanish
privateer provided with five guns has been sighted off the British Columbian coast. In
structions were promptly sent to the Northwest Coast military authorities. A dispatch
from San Francisco discredits the report concerning the sighting of any such vessel in these
waters. . If a privateer should be in those waters she could certainly have already inflicted
great damage to Alaska trade. '

WASHINGTON, July 8. A plan of campaign
has been agreed upon by the leaders of the Ameri
can forces at Santiago and it is expected that the
bombardment will commence at noon Saturday.
The following dispatch was received by the war
department today:
NEAR SANTIAGO (in camp,), July 7. All is
perfectly quiet. At the request of the Spanish gen
eral, an employe of the English Cable Company was
sent in to him to enable him to telegraph his gov
ernment in regard to surrendering. The men are in
good spirits and are making themselves more secure
every hour. The wounds are much less dangerous
than similar ones made by 45 caliber. Among the
large number of wounded there have been few am
putations; perhaps ten cover it. The general health
of the command is good. There are 150 cases .of
fever which will run their course in four or five days,
but none are serious. I am feeling much better.
(Signed) SH AFTER.
Hong Kong, July 8. A Manila die
patch, deted July 4th, says that Admir
al Dewey will remain inactive nntil
General Merritt arrives. The rebels
are practically doing nothing, bat the
Spaniards are strengthening their posi
tions, destroying hnts and constructing
entrenchments. The authorities have
enacted a penalty of $1000 against any
body who shall raise the price of pro
visions. The Spaniards assert that despite the
loss of the waterworks there will be no
famine daring the rainy asason. They
are confident that an am Die force from
Cadiz will arrive and annihilate the
Americans, and they still hope to con
ciliate the natives. - In the meantime
they declare that they will endure pa
tiently whatever comes, and resist to
the utmost. - -
Non-Interfcrence Assured.
